Media Reviews and Appearances

With over twenty years in the sex toy industry, and a staff certified sexuality educator Come As You Are has been a trusted resource for researchers, journalists and editors looking for what’s new in sex as well as context for stories that touch on sexual health and pleasure. Here are some of the media who have covered us or turned to us for help with their stories:

Sex on the beach isn’t merely a drink for Jane.
Though she’s tipsy, she’s sober enough to kiss her boyfriend wildly at a friend’s house party. She whispers in his ear, “Let’s get out of here,” and the couple hand-in-hand make footprints for the nearby beach.
As they near the shore and the crashing waves, they collapse onto the wet sand and laugh devilishly as they roll around together, lips still locked. Clothes start to disappear and fade into the darkness around them.

Put down the sandpaper, scissors, nail clippers or whatever it is you're holding in your hot little hands and step away from the $120 toy you are about to neuter. We do not compromise the medical-grade silicone of expensive sex toys by doing home surgeries on them; we buy new ones, ones that are more simpa-tico with the holes we are sticking them in.

One of the kinkiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint is by seeking out Toronto’s sexiest toy manufacturers. We asked Come As You Are's toy buyer Gill Lamon for suggestions of wares to buy when you want to get off 100-mile style.

A press release landed in my inbox last week that stated that 1 in 3 Americans would still have sex with someone whom they asked to get STD tested but refused even though a majority of those polled acknowledged "they shouldn't."

Erotica is seeing an influx of writers and readers, says Sarah Forbes-Roberts, co-owner of Come As You Are, a Toronto sex shop whose sales in the genre have increased 34 per cent in the past five years. Popular titles include He's on Top and Do Not Disturb .

I have come here for sex.
An unlikely destination for it, granted. Who knew they were even having any?
But the University of Guelph – more commonly associated with agricultural study – is the site of a two-day sexuality conference, the 31st annual symposium on all matters coital and squishy. That means a lot of sex therapists and clinicians sitting around talkin' dirty and calling it research: the academic missionary position.
